    Hard to fathom the length of it without scale. The Leopard round should be enough for me but I'd forgotten how big they were, I had two brass cases here for a few years until the move from East coast to West coast and I shed them. Wish that hadn't happened. I'm sure someone would have bought them from me by now anyway, that's a lot of brass...yours is a meter tall with projectile. 39.6 inches to be exact...

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping. Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    The insides are identical to the real thing, but the charge area is filled with white clay to maintain weight, the piezio ignition is for the base trace charge.
    You may be mistaken here.. the NATO standard colouring for Anti Armour is Black, Practice is Blue, HE is green, smoke is Eau de nile and illuminating is white.. I think Aus is still in NATO, and this is what we taught your ATOs in UKicon!

    The piezo element is part of an impact fuze, and would not be connected to a tracer element.. tracers are normally ignited by the propellant..

    ... here is one for you!

    ...and for extra points, where was it made?
